Description
What are words? What do they do? What do they mean? In contrast to the often stated "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me", Colin Gunton maintains that words are powerful. This is drawn out as Gunton explores how the Biblical doctrines of Creation, Incarnation, and Divine Revelation challenge both the Rationalist and Postmodern understandings of language.
Colin Gunton is former Professor of Christian Doctrine, King's College, University of London. His writing has been devoted to the central themes of Christian theology: Christology, the doctrine of God, and the atonement. He is author of The One, the Three, and the Many and The Promise of Trinitarian Theology, as well as editor of The Doctrine of Creation.
